I never said I finished all that stuff - I just started projects in each
of those categories.
Actually, the last 6 kits I finished were:
1/72 H-13S
1/72 Studebaker 2 1/2 Ton
1/72 Hurricane I
1/72 Hurricane IIC
1/72 M1
1/72 He112

You can use this procedure to get rid of the "fabric" texture found on some
older kits.

For me, no planes after Guadalcanal. Wildcats and Naval Biplanes. Then the
really weird stuff: French Hawks, Dewatoine(sp) used by Vichy, Hurricanes.
That stuff has to be in 1/48 scale. But overall, it's gotta be from
1914-1920 or so, and any scale is fine from 1/72 on!

After WW1 (which includes military vehicles!), my favorites are,
in order (yes, all 1/72nd):
All VVS (the last kit finished was a Dakoplast Yak-9B)
Between the Wars (including Spanish Civil War)
German Light and Soft Skin military vehicles
Soviet WW2 military vehicles
Plus I dabble in other things.
Currently on my table are the Temens (Temske?) Morane Saulnier
Type I and Aeroclub Aviatik D.I.

Not so weird. Actually the toothpaste one is a good one if you

Also not true.
Australian "slang" is rich in words from several other languages,
not the least of which being the Aboriginal languages.
The Great Australianism "fair dinkum' has, AFAIK, never existed

OK I am here to confess also.
My collection goes from 1908 to 1972. I build just about everything from
WW1 to Vietnam. Mostly aircraft, but a few pieces of armor as well. I
was a tankie during Vietnam, so I have this love of tread things.
I am also a model railraoder, so that takes care of the rest of my idle
time.
My last project, the DR1 in 1/28th by Revell is completed, and I have
digital photos coming to send to Allen to put up on the site. I'm
waiting for delivery of the diskette now.

I've always had a soft spot for WWI subjects but kits and reading material
were scarce until about the time Eduard came out with the Eindekker, then
the SSW D.III (my first reaction to this plane: what's that? WWI? I'll take
it). Then I learned to use email and the Web, and the rest is history.
I haven't built an off topic kit since. I have a Ju88 and Ju188 (complete
w/ resin & p-e what not) ready for painting years ago. Haven't touched
them. Last year the Bf110G was released, one of my dream kits of the past.
I broke down and bought one. It's in the closet but I know now that I'll
probably never build it. Many ex-favorites have shown up at the hobby shop
(Beaufighter, Uhu, Sturmovik) but I know better now than to shell out cash
for these kits.
But my interest in building a "Udet" collection will take me off topic. The
Goshawk, a scratchbuild '30s bipe (Udet Flamingo), a glider, are a few that
should be included in the collection. Include an He100 and Siebel Fh104s
(anyone got 3 views for this plane?). These kits will be enough to give me
a feel of "what's happening on the other side".
BTW, I'm sure the Tamigawa Wunderkitsch are very satisfying to build. But
my feeling is, I don't need them in my collection because the Luftwaffe,
USAF, RAF, etc. fanatics over here will do a better job on me with these kits.
Sunno (hear me), I will then enjoy giving a dekko (as you know by now, from
dekho, to see) miniatures of the He219, Beaufighter, Betty, Bf108.999999...
without having to build them, samajte (understand/get the idea)? Tikhe (Ok).

As diverse as that cluster sounds, I figured out a few years ago that the
common threads are small detailing (rigging, railings, fuel lines) and
many, many color options. I think the Easter Bunny has the right idea, as
long as he has some valid reference material for his polka dots, stripes
and bright colors. (And come to think of it, the Easter Bunny probably
approved of those SPADs in 1919.)

Well,
Since I joined the One True Faith, I have not strayed from the path.
In the long dark before-time of my soul, there were many daliances - mainly
with un-propped fliers, big Oriental robots, and itty-bitty pieces of lead
depicting WWII AFVs. Add in some star fighters, fantasy figures, 1/35 stuff
with treads & tires and big planes from that other big war, and you see I
have a lot to atone for.

Confession time!
I too have strayed from the path of the truly righteous. However, my
adulterous ways have never strayed beyond the inter-war years. To date
these include Hasegawa's P-12E and P-26 in 1/32nd and the Williams Brothers
Martin B-10. Having said this as I lustfully admire Classic Airframe's
Heinkel 51.
Forgive me, for I am weak and will sin again.

Nah, none taken . . now if you were to say something bad about Dusty, well
now that would be a different story.
My off-topic build has ranged from scratchbuilding most WW1 and WW2 navies
in 1/2400 scale (and a few modern ones too) - I gave up after about 1000 of
them.
Armour up to and including the WW2 Matilda, none of that modern stuff
though.
Voodoos are shortly to join the many unbuilt. but started - especially as I
profiled a bunch of Canadian ones not too long ago (shameless plug time: see
http://www.ior.com/~wriepl/awn/Mar98/voodoo.htm)
Spitfires, Bf-110s, P-38s and B-P Defiants are also way up there.

Hi Shane
You surely opened a tin of worms, some of this guys are not just normal
sinners,
haven't you noticed a perverse delight when they confess building those
awkward
machines from that other conflict and go as far as liking those thingies
without
props, shame on them.
Well I am not without sin, no, although I just recently finished the RE2b
( photos already in the WW 1 modeling page gallery ) I have also finished a
1/35 Rolls Royce Armoured Car as it should have looked circa 1916 and
two ships, in 1/350 , the HMS Vega a V and W Class destroyer of WW1
that rendered service till 1948 and the USS Ward a 4 stacker, also a WW 1
remnant that sank a sub in Pearl Harbor just before the attack, but no one
would believe them. ( commercial plug , you can see them in
http://warship.simplenet.com/gallery.htm , shameless of me ) now the real
big sin,
the other day I saw a beautiful ship, a DDG that has not even entered
service yet ,
the USS Winston Churchill and could not resist it, so I shamelessly sinned.
By the way on the above mentioned ship modeling page, there is a list
running for
ship modelers, with a very nice bunch of guys there too, and there has been
some
posts recently with their concern that several WW 1 aviation modelers have
been
invading their domains.

Not a confession- a proclamation! (the last of the protesting protestants?):
WW I is my first love, but I enjoy all kinds of things- I'm probably the only

stuff (yes, those Hawkers are neat).As for models actually built, I guess the
last thirteen list looks something like this, in no particular order:

Jewelers' rouge is useful for this as well - just be sure ya'
wash the model well when you're done polishing (although, I'd
assume this would hold true for toothpaste too!)
Cheers and all,

Toothpaste also works great for polishing cymbals. Not to mention teeth.

I'm in the 3rd book of Bernard Cornwell's 'Warlord Chronicles'. Have you
read it? If not, it's a great Dark Ages Welsh Arthur story with lots of
names without vowels and accurate details like leather breast blates,
left over Roman armour, spears and sheild walls. Highly recomended for
any Arthur fan. Which you don't seem to be.

You don't have 95 of these, do you? 80)
(the last of the protesting protestants?):
My revered forebears were among the first.......hopefully none of
us will be be among the last.
In a spirit of *general* confession in the presence of fellow
believers, I like all mortals, also tend to err and stray from the way
.....though usually not so seriously as to require private confession 80)
I do figures in 54mm [1/32 0r 1/35], not necessarily WW1; also
aircraft in 1/48 and 1/42 unrelated to WW1. And ships of various scales.
Thus my sins of topic tend to be more serious, though less
numerous, than those of scale.
I am however in the fortunate position of being able to confess
myself and impose my own penance if I feel my sins require private
confession 80)
Cheers,
Mick.

Shane,
That sounds interesting, but I'm having trouble picturing it. Could you
draw me a simple diagram and snail it to me?

Shane,
Disregard my last message. I was having a brain fart and didn't catch
the Merc.160 part. I was thinking round engines and couldn't figure out
why you were cutting it in half. But now I have a new use for the
sanding bow. Thanks.
